Glasgow student makes finals of CooperVision competition

Optometry student Ambreen Hussain at Glasgow Caledonian University was among researchers from across Europe who reached this year’s final of the CooperVision FORCE (Future Ocular Research Creativity Event) Student of the Year competition.

The event took place at the contact lens company’s Centre of Innovation in Budapest, Hungary last month, where teams of students and educators from nine countries took part.

This year’s overall winners of FORCE Student of the Year 2017 were Alessandra Rossi and Sara Picarazzi from the University of Milano-Bicocca in Italy. Supervised by Silvia Tavazzi. They had evaluated the absorption of eyeshadow in soft contact lenses.
